The decision to deny Maricopa Citizens Protecting Taxpayers both a Petition for Review and an Emergency Stay was handed down Wednesday by Chief Justice Scott Bales.

The decision is the most recent in an arduous legal battle that was started when the organization attempted to force a referendum on the city’s issuing of a conditional use permit to Private Motorsports Group for the construction of a private racetrack called Apex Motor Club.
